M705 functions nearly flawlessly for me running both iMAC (with VMware supporting Vista Pro) and my HP laptop. Its few weaknesses include managing use of several mice when several computers are side by side. I've found workarounds, but don't bother looking in LT's documentation. The other really HORRIBLE weakness is that the Unifying Receiver's easily break when plugged into the ONLY USB ports on my laptop. Their 'ears' catch on cables, suitcase interiors etc and snap off. Then when you try to buy a replacement... well good luck figuring out the 'model' to buy.. LT thinks they never break or get lost.

Not a bad product... my only major complaint is that the mouse goes to sleep far to quickly. It only takes a moment to wake up but it doesn't move the pointer the same distance had the mouse been awake when the movement started. Unfortunately there is no way to set a longer timeout. I'd be happy to trade shorter batter life to avoid constantly waiting for this thing to wake up. Hopefully logitech releases an update that allows a longer timeout but until then I think I'll be reconnecting my old wired mouse.

IDK what the other people that say that this mouse wont perform on a flat surface or that this and that nitpicky thing makes them rate it so low. If you have small hands I would guess that this would not be the one for you. I mean I cant palm a basketball and im 6'2" (so i tend to think that my hands are small) BUT this mouse is perfect for my hand, I can reach and click everything with sure ease. I love the fact that you can customize what buttons do what! its like an android phone in a mouse.! LOL! Im amazed of how I could let go of my 2 year old mouse that i LOVE!!! go so easily when i got this. Best money I spent in a while. Thanks Logitech! Im a believer

This mouse is poorly designed. The optical sensor is under the far right corner. As a result it will not track correctly if lying flat on a surface. You must tilt the mouse by raising the left edge slightly off the surface in order for it to track. This should not be sold as it leads to immense frustration while you try and figure out what type of surface works (included a mouse pad). Basically nothing works unless you tilt it and then everything works until you get a cramp. Poorly done Logitech.

The Marathon Mouse is brilliant- The mouse fits your hand like it was made for it(I can't go back to the so-called ergonomics of other mice), the hyper-scrolling has come into play very frequently, but the side buttons- They don't really come alive when I use my macbook Pro from late 2011. When I do use it with an older one though, it flicks through the open ones like a charm), and it does well for gaming. I haven't seen any signs of battery drain, which is brilliant regarding the fact that I leave it on all night sometimes. Overall, brilliant buy, don't miss it.

This is a very nice mouse. I have the G500 that I use on my desktop and transition isn't that noticeable. When I opened the package, I was curious of what the dash was when I pressed it and I was flabbergasted, "IT IS A WIRELESS G500. NOICE." I programmed it as a scroll wheel click instead of the Application switcher. The only thing I do not like about this mouse is the fact that my thumb cannot reach the top side button. I guess I have short thumbs.

I am trying to compare Anywhere mouse MX with this one but I'm not sure which on is more comfortable and which one has bigger buttons.
My Question is...
1.Is it comfortable
2.Which has bigger buttons Anywhere Mouse or Marathon?
3.Are there programmable buttons?
1.Is it comfortable

This is a great mouse, I have been using logitech products since quite long. Never had a complain, but suddenly since a year ago the workmanship and quality has become poorer.
In last one year I have changed 3 keyboards, of higher ends like MX 5500 and 3 mouses due to right click problem two of them M705 and one MX series mouse.
I never expected that from Logitech.

I purchased this mouse because I liked the MX620 a lot. I am very disappointed by the performance of the hyper scrolling. When I scroll down, it will rebound back up after the scroll wheel is stopped. The scroll wheel also moves around when I move the mouse.

Never had a gaming mouse before. I was very disappointed when I first setup the mouse and used it. The pointer was extremely erratic. Almost like there was no control over it. I am using a mouse pad called a "Mouse Rug" very nice. I was about to dump this mouse when accidentally the mouse ran off the pad onto my wood desk top. Low and behold it worked great! Very fast though. After adjusting the "Setpoints" it now works much better than my previous mouse. Glad I spent the extra money for the gamer. If you are having problems with this mouse try getting rid of your mouse pad!

Everything is working well, except one thing. Mouse somehow forgets scrolling setting after day or so. That means no fast scrolling anymore. Then I have to restart computer. I'm using laptop and moustly it only sleeps for fast restart.

For those who like highly sensitive hyperscrolling, this is a must-have mouse. For those who prefer the traditional method of scrolling, this mouse will irritate the daylights out of them.
The biggest flaw with this mouse is the scroll wheel. It's sensitive; too sensitive. I have used a mouse with a traditional "Click-By-Click" scroll wheel for years, and to see the way this mouse tackles Click-By-Click appalls me. The way it switches from hyperscroll to CBC is mechanical; the mouse still registers the raw data from the scroll wheel. That means that, even if you don't move an entire click, it still registers movement. This may not sound like a big problem, but if you ever want to use the middle mouse button, it is a pain. Imagine trying to click on something only to have it jump up one line. That's the experience this mouse brings.
Scroll wheel troubles don't end there. It doesn't matter how long you've used a wheel; you will be switching from index to middle fingers trying to figure out which is best for using the scroll.
Don't think even for a second that you can just plug this thing in and it will work like your old mouse. You'll be messing with the speed and acceleration settings for hours on end trying to get it to work right. One setting is too slow and the speed just above it is too fast. The acceleration settings just seem superfluous; they just seem to complicate the whole process.
The thumb button, while a nice addition, isn't well suited for gaming. My hands may just be a little small, but I found myself having to get additional leverage on my thumb just to press it.
Probably the most frustrating part of the most glaring flaw - the scroll wheel - is that it is a completely avoidable flaw. Would it really be that hard to not have the scroll wheel always take in raw input? Is it really that difficult to have a "Click-By-Click Mode" setting in the driver that prevents minute movements from registering? It just feels like I've got a great piece of equipment that has a crippling yet easily fixable error.

This mouse is excellent for gaming. I didn't want to purchase an official "gaming" mouse because theyre much more expensive. I have now had this mouse for over a year and a half. It still works wonderfully. I play Starcraft 2 with this mouse, Dead Space, The Witcher, and many others. Its very smooth, and it feels great in the palm of your hand. Its shaped very well so you can grip it for gaming. (you have a lot of control.) I highly recommend this mouse. My batteries just barely died on me! Its been over a year and a half and i never once turned it off...so....obviously the battery life is good. Also, ive dropped it many times, and its never broken! (our floor is tile...that says a lot too. Lol )

I am 6'4" with large hands and the mouse stills fits my fingers well. Scroll mode button is slightly hard to click in/out of smooth scrolling, but useable. I would suggest Logitech to reduce the spring pressure on next version. Movement and precision are great even for fast FPS games, I use a super thin black very large 13"x13" Allsop pad stuck to my desk, that I purchased just for this mouse from Frys.

I just bought the Logitech mouse m705. Well, its great for its effortless left and right click buttons, and other buttons are cool too.
If you are a right hander with small hands (as in my case) then you are likely to find this mouse very ergonomic.
The only thing I really don't like about it is that the inner assembly of the mouse seems to be loose or broken. When you shake or move the mouse briskly, the inner assembly (which is likely to be the hyperscroll wheel device) moves in a noisy way giving you an impression that it is loose or broken. I presume that my new m705 is not a faulty piece.

I purchased this mouse because of all the good reviews and because a coworker had one and raved about it. Well, I was very disappointed. The mouse pointer does not move predictably, and does not move like every other mouse I have used. The laser sensor is NOT in the center of the mouse, so if you use your wrist alot, the mouse will not move in a manner that you are used to. I have had the mouse for two months now and completely despise it. Were it not for the movement the mouse would be great, but the movement stinks.
Now I can see why the price of this mouse has dropped from over $70 to under $40. Boooooooo.
